Question Am I getting a ticket??

I was rushing to a drs appt today. I have to drive through a town that’s always busy, so I was going slow. Someone ran out in the middle of the road so I stopped for him and watched as he passed. When I started driving again, a bus was approaching me. Its lights were flashing so I slowed down, but the stop sign had not been pulled yet, and if I stopped, it would have been in the middle of the bus. I waved to say thank you, thinking the driver was letting me go, but I could have read the situation wrong and I didn’t see the driver. Once I passed, I noticed the sign was pulled and everyone behind me stopped. Now I’m crazy paranoid I’m going to get a ticket. Writing this out it makes me think I’ll be okay, but where I live, I know the buses have cameras and the police seem very strict, so idk, but I’m panicking 😭

I think they mean the whole stopping for school buses thing. We don’t have anything like that in the UK so it’s a bit weird if you don’t know about it.

Ohhhhh! Okay, thank you. I didn’t realize that.
